The Solos BOF holds our Annual Meeting each January in Quartzsite, AZ. In addition to our meeting, we have a week-long rally which includes daily breakfast and coffee, some dinners, a dance band or other entertainment, an outing to the Desert Bar and other locations, and most importantly our CARE auction. We usually donate at least $2,000 to CARE annually.
The Quartzsite Rally will be on Plomosa Rd, a few miles north of Quartzsite on BLM land. Signs should be up a week or so beforehand. Many people come early and stay afterwards. The best way to find out what individuals are planning is on the Escapees Solos Facebook Page or the Bulletin Board (for members only). Once the rally is underway, daily activities are posted on bulletin boards in the central camping area, usually an open meeting space defined by a ring of RVs.
Activities
We will have the usual potluck, trip to the Desert Bar in Parker, Stone Soup, morning hugs and mugs, afternoon Happy/Social Hour, Walking Tacos, games, the CARE auction, and the all important Annual Meeting and Elections.
You may want to bring something old or new to contribute to the auction as well as a dish for the potluck and snacks. Bring a chair to the circle and your own plates and utensils to the potluck.
The Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show better known as the Big Tent Event will be held January 15 – 23, 2027, so there will be plenty happening in Quartzsite.
Lake Havasu Winter Blast and Fireworks
When: February 2027
Where: Camping at the Steps, Lake Havasu, AZ
Contact: TBD
This is an unofficial Solos get together but many people really enjoy it every year. We normally go to see the fireworks Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Some people go one day, some go all three. This is a trade show where fireworks manufacturers showcase their best creations and where fireworks show buyers come to book shows for their cities and companies. Every creation is a finale. $10 entry fee for each day – cash only.
The Winter Blast Pyrotechnics Show will be held February 11-14, 2027. The dates the Solos will arrive for camping are to be determined but usually encompass the entire show plus a few days.
